Shi Xi took out the remaining strips of cloth from her pocket, crushed the anti-inflammatory medicine into powder, applied it to the wound, and then bandaged it up one by one.
The girl slowly said, "It hurts."
Bai Yanlang thought it was because her face hurt from being slapped, "Take a painkiller and your face won't hurt anymore."
Shi Xi sobbed, "It's not my face that hurts, it's that seeing your wound makes me feel so much pain."
The man looked at the girl with red eyes in surprise. Were her tears... for him?
Shi Xi finished bandaging the last wound, helped Bai Yanlang get dressed, and covered her with her down jacket, saying, "I've never been able to bear seeing others get hurt since I was little; it makes me sad."
"You're really strange. Do you feel sorry for anyone who gets hurt?"
"No, it depends on the person." She's not a saint; she doesn't feel sorry for others.
A gust of cold wind blew in, and Shi Xi rubbed her arms. The cold sweat was blown away by the wind, making her even colder.
Bai Yanlang: "Come here, let's cover you with your... down jacket together."
Shi Xi didn't stand on ceremony and covered Bai Bai with a piece of clothing.
In the face of life and death, what's the point of being sentimental? It's not worth it if you freeze to death.
Bai Bai is someone who prioritizes style over warmth; otherwise, why wouldn't he wear a down jacket?
"Bai Bai, did you drop your phone?"
"Yes, they escaped while fleeing for their lives."
In a life-or-death situation, he didn't care about his phone; even if someone found it, they wouldn't be able to find any information about it.
Shi Xi hugged her arms tightly, "It seems we can only wait until the heavy snow stops and then go out to find our own way."
"Someone will come looking for us." It's just a matter of whether it's Di Chenxiao's people or his people who come first.
He said that all the people who were chasing him turned back halfway; it turned out they were looking for this little girl.
In fact, this girl saved his life twice.
Shi Xi drifted off to sleep, her head lolling to rest on Bai Yanlang's shoulder.
Bai Yanlang looked at the sleeping Shi Xi, whose face was flushed and body was burning hot; she had a fever.
She was so busy taking care of his body that she didn't even realize she had a fever.
What a silly girl.
But now Bai Yanlang has no choice but to wait.
**
When Di Chenxiao found the warehouse where Shi Xi had been imprisoned, Shi Xi was no longer there.
Six men and a middle-aged woman were lying on the floor of the warehouse.
Di Wu went up to check and said, "Master, it was Miss Shi who drugged them."
"Wake them up."
Emperor Wu took out a bottle, smelled it on their noses, and they woke up.
There was a chair next to the middle-aged woman, and next to the chair was a broken rope, which was probably used to tie Shi Xi up.
Not far from the chair, within easy reach, there were rows of needles, one of which had bloodstains on it.
Di Chenxiao's heart ached, and his throat felt like it was being choked, making it impossible for him to speak.
The middle-aged woman woke up to find the warehouse filled with people. "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Indra asked, "Where is Shi Xi?"
Hua Xiaodie chuckled, "You've come looking for that little bitch, but unfortunately, you're too late. She's already dead."
What interesting things will happen if a girl spends the night alone on a mountain?
"Slap—" Di Shi slapped the woman hard across the face. "Watch your mouth, or I'll knock your teeth out."
Di Shi tied up Hua Xiaodie, picked up a needle from the ground, and plunged it into her arm. "Where is she?"
"Ah—, ah—, I don't know!"
Indra stabbed the needles one after another, and screams of agony echoed through the sky.
Hua Xiaodie said weakly, "I really don't know where she is. I was going to prick her finger with a needle, but..."
